Hangzhou Bay Bridge main lighting supplier, Cooper tailored high-end products
On May 1, 2008, Cixi, Ningbo, south to Jiaxing Haiyan, the 36-kilometer-long world's first sea-crossing bridge, Hangzhou Bay Bridge, achieved trial operation and traffic, which attracted worldwide attention. Naturally, Cooper Lighting, the main supplier of the bridge, has received great attention from the industry. In terms of lighting throughout the bridge, Cooper Lighting is responsible for all road lighting and floodlighting of the bridge, providing approximately 70% to 80% of the total number of engineering lighting.
When talking about the complex hydrological, geological and meteorological conditions in the Hangzhou Bay, it may encounter a series of problems such as strong winds, heavy rains and vibrations caused by vehicles. When the lighting is put forward quite strict requirements, Cooper Electric Vice President of International Marketing Tom According to Salpietra, Cooper Lighting specially designed a GULF with IP66 (up to IP68) protection for the Hangzhou Bay Bridge. It can effectively waterproof and shockproof and cope with the harsh weather conditions of Hangzhou Bay. Cooper Electric China and Southeast Asia General Manager Mai Jinhui specifically mentioned that the product is equipped with a corresponding shock absorption system and fall protection dual device, and has done relevant vibration rate research in the United States and China, able to withstand 100,000 times. The above test. Because there is no industry standard for gravity (3G) and special complex conditions for 3G. Therefore, Cooper Lighting's performance for the high-end products tailored for the Hangzhou Bay Bridge has broken through the routine, which is a very rare initiative in the industry.
Develop secondary and tertiary cities and steadily deploy the Chinese market
When talking about the role of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge and other projects on Cooper's exploration of the Chinese market, Mr. Mai used a very figurative metaphor project. Cooper has done a lot of large-scale success stories in China. For example, the high-end projects such as the National Tennis Center and the Olympic Park have lamps provided by Cooper.
The 175-year-old Cooper attaches great importance to the development and expansion of the Chinese market. Through the team efforts of Cooper China and various aspects from the US headquarters, a series of secondary and tertiary cities will be the market development targets for Cooper Lighting. In addition to Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu and other earthly worlds, Cooper will pay attention to the layout of Shandong, Xi'an, Wuhan and Hangzhou. Steady layout of China's lighting city often this exhibition, Cooper Lighting brings the relevant products used in the Olympic venues, and highlights the success stories in recent years in the exhibition hall.
Committed to LED development, rational treatment of LED thermal phenomena
Aladdin Lighting Network interviewed Cooper Electric for the first time. In view of the current energy-saving and government-sponsored green lighting projects, LED has a strong advantage as a high-efficiency, energy-saving, long-life light source, and this year's Guangzhou International The lighting exhibition has specially set up a special hall for LEDs to meet the requirements of LED companies. Then, can LEDs replace traditional high-energy lamps? Does Cooper have its own LED products?
In response to the above problems, Tom Salpietra and Mr. Mai respectively said that the application and development of LEDs need to be phased and cannot be generalized. At present, as the main road lighting tool for LED street light, it takes at least 4-5 years to perfect and upgrade its technical level, gradually replacing metal halide lamps and high-pressure sodium lamps.
At present, Cooper LED products are mainly concentrated in LED entertainment decoration and white LED decoration. IO is a brand of Cooper LED, named after Saturn's ninth shaped bulb-like satellite. At present, Cooper has already done some projects in LED, such as Caiyuanba in Chongqing. The LED products have been used in Macao for more than 1 million US dollars.
